Warner Bros. has released a 15-second teaser for “Ocean’s 8” ahead of the full trailer, which will be released Tuesday. The big reveal from the teaser asks the question: is George Clooney’s character Danny Ocean dead?

At the 10-second mark in the trailer tease, Bullock’s character, Debbie Ocean, is seen standing in front of a grave with the name “Danny Ocean” inscribed on it, stating that he died (or faked his death?) in 2018.

The crime caper, a spinoff of the “Ocean’s 11” franchise, is directed by Gary Ross. He has described it as a continuation of director Steven Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s 11” trilogy, which starred Clooney, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts. Along with Bullock, “Ocean’s 8” also stars Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson.

The three previous “Ocean’s” movies combined to make $426 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide. 2001’s “Ocean’s 11” was a remake of a 1960 film of the same name starring Rat Packers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford.

After 15 years, the A-list cast of "Ocean's Eleven" has remarkably retained their star power. Coming off Oscar noms for "Traffic" and "Erin Brockovich," director Steven Soderbergh chose to make a movie "with no social value whatsoever," but it has proven to have more value than anyone first gave it credit for. TheWrap has teamed up with IMDb to share 11 enthralling facts about the crime caper.

Bruce Willis was originally set to star, but ultimately decided to bow out. "By the time I got to it, all the good stuff was done and I wanted to play one of the gang,” Willis said in 2000. He eventually appeared in a cameo role in "Ocean’s Twelve."

Matt Damon’s part as Linus Caldwell was meant for Mark Wahlberg, who ultimately starred in a remake of another classic, “Planet of the Apes” instead. The NY Daily News reported in 2000 that Wahlberg criticized fellow Bostonian Damon, saying "he wants to have been to jail, and say he's tough."

Shaobo Qin, who played the “greaseman” Chinese acrobat The Amazing Yen, made his motion picture debut with "Ocean's Eleven." He is a professional acrobat and contortionist in real life, and he has also appeared in both "Ocean's" sequels as well. But the acrobat has never acted in any other film.

George Clooney "charmed" Julia Roberts into starring in the film by sending her the script with a $20 bill attached. (She had just starred in Steven Soderbergh’s "Erin Brockovich"). "I heard you're getting 20 a picture," he wrote. She said in an interview with Barbara Walters that it was the first time she was paid to read a script.

Don Cheadle, who plays Basher, is actually uncredited in the film. “With 'Ocean’s,' there was some stuff that happened behind the scenes that I didn’t like how it went down, so I just said, 'take my name off it,'" he said in an interview in 2009.

Don Cheadle was embarrassed about the Cockney accent he used in the film and eventually apologized for using it. It’s considered one of the worst British accents performed by an American actor.

Soderbergh said the original script was 165 pages, whereas the final version is only 115. “It wasn’t until three weeks into editing that I felt we’d been successful in keeping everyone in the same film,” he said.
